Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004026198A2] The invention relates to a device for measuring an optical penetration that is triggered in a tissue (6, 14) underneath the tissue surface by means of therapeutic laser radiation which a laser-surgical device (5) concentrates in a treatment focus (11) located in said tissue (6, 14). The inventive device is provided with a detection beam path comprising a lens system which couples radiation emanating from the tissue (6, 14) underneath the tissue surface into the detection beam path. A detector device (4, 3, 9; 39, 40, 41; 58, 59, 60) generating a detection signal (5) which indicates the spatial dimension and/or position of the optical penetration in the tissue (6, 14) is arranged downstream of the detection beam path.
